Pikes Peak RV Park

What makes Manitou Springs a trail-running legend? The Pikes Peak Marathon—one of the longest-standing races in the country—climbs to 14,100+ feet and has shaped a community that spans generations. From dedicated runners who return year after year (including a passionate Arkansas contingent) to locals who steward the trails, the event’s spirit lives in stories of grit, recovery, and thoughtful preparation—supported by training camps and coaches built just for this mountain. Want to feel the history up close? Our park sits along Fountain Creek with easy access to the Creek Walk into downtown Manitou Springs—so you can tap into the race buzz, meet fellow runners, and explore town between miles. Which Pikes Peak story inspires you most—the altitude challenge, the nationwide runner community, or the comeback journeys? Join fellow trail fans at Pikes Peak RV Park, swap race stories by the creek, and feel the marathon spirit long before race day.
